As we head into the fall season, you're probably concerned about how you're going to protect your preschooler from germs.  Kids are always spreading germs, mainly because they don't understand what germs are and how to protect themselves.

That is why the program Germy Wormy was created and has had so much success.  Germy Wormy teaches kids what germs are and how to avoid getting (and sharing!) them.  Users of the Germy Wormy program happily report a 50% decrease in colds and flu's in children and those around them.  The program works!

Preschoolers as young as 2 can benefit from using Germy Wormy, which takes a friendly approach of teaching kids about germs.  Using a few simple rules, such as washing your hands, keeping your hands away from your face, and coughing and sneezing into your elbow, preschoolers pick Germy Wormy up easily!

To help your preschooler, Germy Wormy provides an kid-friendly instructional video and disposable sleeves to practice sneezing and coughing into!  Kids get so excited to "feed" the worm their germs, and then parents end up with all the germs in one easy to throw away disposable sleeve!

For more information on this creative, successful program, visit the Germy Wormy Germ Smart website.
